BLOCK THINKS CAR COMPANY
SHOULD GET ALL THE DOUGH
Aid. Eugene Block declared himself
yesterday. He was the first to rush
to the assistance of the traction trust
in their scheme to make the city
waive its 55 per cent of the car lines'
receipts.
"I don't believe in the companies
splitting with the city," said Block.
"The whole nickel should go to tie
companies."

"Well use it for the betterment of
the service," he says.

been taken toward a merger of the
elevated and surface lines.
